Brake Pads Wear

In Canada, warranty does not cover wear & tear items . U have to pay xtra if u want the wear /tear maintenance warranty.
City stop & go driving obviously will wear out ur tires & brake pads / rotors /spark plugs/ motor oil sooner.
U can gear down b 4 u brake to reduce brake wear/heat but transmission maintenance /repair eventually may cost more than brake pads!
Drive spirited on the highways where there's less traffic & so less brake use to scrub ur speed & take it easy in urban driving. Less wear & tear on the suspension & U'll get btr gas mileage too!
Carry the big stick but u don't have to use it.
